Tiant's Hesitation Pitch Irritates Pete Rose (1975 World Series)

To say Tiant is not close to being hofer is not really true. The 2 Players he compares too most closely on baseball reference are Catfish Hunter and Jim Bunning both Hofer's.

Thanks for posting this video of my favorite player and idol, Pete Rose. I watched this game when I was 11 years old. Cincinnati lost this game, 6-0, but rallied to win Game 2 3-2. The 1975 World Series is one of the greatest World Series ever. Five of the 7 games were decided by 1 run. Two games went extra innings. There was the interference call involving plate umpire Larry Barnett, Carlton Fisk, and Reds hitter Ed Armbrister. There was Fisk's homer to end game 6. The series had everything and then some. Even a three day postponement because of rain in Boston occurred. This was a great Series between two great teams. Thankfully, Cincinnati won in 7.

​@@EugBaseball I was furious with the Cubs' current manager Craig Counsell a few days ago when he pulled Shota Imanaga after 7 no-hit innings. Not that long ago, leaving him in would have been obvious and ordinary - even if he didn't have a no-hitter going. The Cubs were up by something like 9 runs, they had an off-day coming up, their season is essentially over, nothing was at risk and his pitch count wasn't even that high (low 90s). The team's announcers (who are paid to pacify the fans and support the team and MLB on everything) actually tried to argue "he'll have other chances". When? He'll never have a better opportunity to get a Major League no hitter than he did that day, and they still pulled him, so why would the future be any different? So basically no pitcher playing for Counsell, or most other managers like him, will ever be allowed to finish a game, because they're obsessed with counting to 90. I miss when managers used to watch how the pitcher is pitching, instead of counting how many times they've thrown the ball. Too much "technology" and reliance on computer data is turning baseball into a sport for robots. Just watching it on TV has turned into analysis overload.

[@EugBaseball]

@@yorgle11 Yes, that must be frustrating. Manfred should revert to 1975 rules, just to see if the game can get back to what it once was. I think fan interest would be huge. No replay, 4 divisions, collisions, neighborhood plays, real extra innings. It would be glorious.

Rose made the choice that keeps him out.

[@janmichaeljablonsky9847]

Agreed. MLB is now telling everybody that betting is a great thing...we should all go out and toss away our hard-earned money. That's a hell of a lot worse than what Pete Rose did. Manfred is the ultimate hypocrite.

[@erniea4424]

@@janmichaeljablonsky9847 - for you to bet on a game is not even in the ball park (intended) with what Rose did. He knew IN ADVANCE that his actions could get him banned, and did it anyway. That means his punishment is well deserved.

Now we’ve lost both of them. I loved Loooouie! And Pete…

[@EugBaseball]

99% of most baseball fans loved Luis Tiant. Pete Rose probably comes in at about 55%, unfortunately.

[@davidschlaefer8078]

He had quite a repertoire of pitches; never knew what he had coming at you on any given night.

[@Zane_Zaminsky]

“Big Red Machine” 😉

[@ericmccaulley5008]

It was said that Tiant looked everyone in the eyes in the ballpark before his delivery.⚾❤️

[@cliftonjarvis8010]

That was baseball ⚾️

[@That_Guy_Says_Hi]

Tiant was the closest to the "MUST SEE"- Pedro Martinez games around the turn of the century and beyond, IMHO. Pedro had, effectively, a dozen different pitches/speeds/locations OR MORE. A third pitch generally gets you into the Bigs. That '75 series includes "The Greatest Game Ever Played," game 6.

I remember those days when the World Series games were on in the afternoon on weekends.

What a waste of 2 minutes. A weak ground out😮

[@rileyjackfansmithandjones8238]

There were Three Times I really Hated Pete Rose......when he was a Red, when he was a Phillie, and when he was an Expo. He was such Gung Ho Bully, i wish Bud Harrelson could' ve got more shots on him, in their Dust Up. Well, im older now, so i should say i " used" to hate Pete Rose. I still do, but i used to, too!(RIP Mitch Hedberg)

[@robertglancy4474]

As far as I'm concerned the "Golden age" of baseball, Hank Aaron broke the Ruth's HR record the previous season and loved listening to Curt Gowdy do baseball and football.

[@drslyone]

Back when the NL and AL were seperate, so you were often seeing pitchers for the first time in the world series.

[@brettsinger9565]

At one point in this World Series, Sparky Anderson successfully argued that Tiant's wind-up was a balk.

[@blip9999999999999999]

Pete looked like he saw a ghost. I remember it well.

[@jorgeespinosa6572]

Even after all these years, I remember holding my breath, hoping the Red Sox could somehow pull out the Series.

[@MichaelWilliams-xe7by]

That was a great Red Sox team in '75. Should have won the whole thing.

[@richardwrynn824]

If Jim Rice wasn't injured it could have ended up with the sox winning that series.

Who recognizes the announcer Curt Gowdy , formerly the RED SOX radio announcer .

Most of us, because my channel viewers are mostly 55 years or older.
